1. The 5th Dimension - Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (Peak #1 on April 12, 1969)
On the June 14 1969 Hot 100, Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In dropped from #7 to #11. On the chart for the week ending June 21 – which includes the first day of summer – the song stayed at #11. It dropped to #26 in the following week and that was its final week on the chart. How does it qualify as a "summer hit"?

29 – The Ad Libs – The Boy From New York City
Same song. The Ad Libs, a doo-wop quintet from Newark, released 17 singles between 1964 and 1988 and The Boy From New York City was their only hit. It reached #8 on the Hot 100 in February 1965. Their follow-up single, He Ain't No Angel, written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, was on the Hot 100 for only one week, at #100.
Mary Wells, whose 1960s hits include My Guy, Two Lovers, Laughing Boy, You Beat Me To The Punch and The One Who Really Loves You, recorded The Boy From New York City for her 1982 album Easy Touch. The uncredited background vocalists are Brenda Gooch, Maxine Green and Lynda Laurence. The album never charted.
